Oops. Mis-sexed 11 week old

[R Buns]

I am still mastering rabbit sexing of youngins. Apparently I had one female in with the pen of littermate males. The rest of the females have been separated since weaning. I caught one of the males on the female tonight mounting away. I didn't give a chance for a fall off just swooped her up and checked and it's plain as day now she's a she. I marked inside her ears with a permanent marker (HUGE thanks to the folks here who said that was a thing to do) and moved her with the pen of female litter mates. The males are due to be processed next week and I'm guessing I should do this female with them since I can't confirm actual breeding or not and do not want her to be a doe. The females I was hoping to wait a few extra weeks to process and give them a bit more time to grow. Is it even possible she's not bred or should I assume they got her and process with the males next week?
Thanks all!

I would be a little surprised if she was actually pregnant. Eleven weeks is quite young; I've had males able to breed successfully at 12 weeks, but have never had a female take anywhere near that age.

If you process the females within the next two weeks, you'd probably be fine either way. But if you're going to let it go longer than that, I'd probably just go ahead and process her with the bucks. I really hate butchering pregnant animals!!!

That is something I don't wish to experience. I think I'll do that. Just process her next week with the bucks as planned. Thank you for putting my worries at ease though. Considering I had so many issues just getting the parents to do their thing for the first time I'd say it's a good chance I'd get the teen pregnancy. I'll pass on that chance but will now know for the future. Thanks

Thought I would update with my oops a second time. Especially so some folks can read we all have these kinds of struggles in the beginning.
I processed the rest of the litter today and sure enough the one I thought was a buck then thought was a doe turned out to be a buck. None of the does were visibly pregnant and that buck was sure not very big if ya know what I'm saying. I've not ever seen him even try either. I was quick shocked actually to find them there. So I had sexed everyone correctly at weaning. After seeing the initial mounting by one of the other bucks I then sexed this buck incorrectly. Hopefully I'll get better at it over time. Needless to say "she" was definitely not pregnant.

Been there, done that . Whenever I have doubts I get a second opinion, I am lucky to have 2 other breeders nearby I can ask to take a peek. Otherwise I would post pictures here.
I always sex them at least twice, weeks apart, just in case the Sex Change Fairy pays a visit, which still happens after 12 years of breeding.

I keep my growouts longer, about 20 weeks, due to feeding mostly forage and waiting for puberty to turn them into gremlins. The earliest a doeling got pregnant was at about 13-14 weeks, I only noticed because there were suddenly 10 rabbits hopping around in that pen instead of 5 , in another incident I got to experience how horny bucks get around a kindling doe... .
